SHANGHAI | Bionic Tower Vertical City | 4,029 FT / 1,228 M | VISION





Well, here's bionic tower, designed by Celaya, Cervera & Pioz, which will rise to 1228 meters high!

It will be built in Shanghai, once approved since their current height restriction is only 500 metres.

The architect hopes to see the site started in 2015. Construction should last about fifteen years.

January 1997, a full team of architects, engineers, biologists and designers join their capacities and investigations and start to develop the prototype "Bionic Vertical Space" ideologically and physically. The result is presented at the "III International Conference IFHS", as a lecture titled "Conquest of Vertical Space in the 21st Century - International Conference on Multipurpose High-Rise Towers and Tall Buildings" organized by "The Concrete Society" in London, October, 1997. The Original Lecture is signed by the Architects Eloy Celaya, Javier G.

At that moment "Bionic Tower Vertical City" starts its pace and development until the beginning of the year 2001, being this project directed by Architects Eloy Celaya, Javier Gómez Pioz and Mª Rosa Cervera.

Actually "Bionic Tower" Project is known all around the world and it is trying to establish its final situation and the necessary infrastructure to carry out the project.

Future, uncertain, but hopeful. Future uncertain, but hopeful. At present, Eloy Celaya , architect and Master of Sciences in Advanced Architectural Design Columbia University (New York), is developing a Research Project parallel to the development of "Bionic Tower" Project which shall be finished shortly including the publication of a "Graphic Dictionary of high rise architecture model evolution", and a main subject "Frontiers on evolution of high rise architecture models".

"

This frontiers have existed along the short race of high rise structures, and will allow us to understand where we are now regarding height limits, and to know if the limit around 500 meters high will be surpassed during the next years or otherwise we'll have to wait till the research developed for "Bionic Tower Vertical City" Project can be applied to the construction of a city 1.228 meters high.

While this moment comes, this technology is being applied to develop different types of buildings. (PROJECTS). While this moment comes, this technology is being applied to develop different types of buildings

Looks more like a city to me rather than a tower. You got to love these names they come up with though....'Bionic Tower'...meh.
